The man shot to death Wednesday in South Seattle has been identified as Stephen Dwaine Stewart, 34, as police continued searching for two men suspected of killing him.

According to police, two men entered Stewart's house, in the 4200 block of South Raymond Street, and one was armed with a semiautomatic pistol. The men argued with Stewart, who was armed with a revolver, before shooting him in the head.

Officers are investigating several possible motives.

Police arrived about 4:30 p.m., and medics pronounced Stewart dead at the scene.

The suspects are believed to be in their 20s or 30s. Police did not have a clear description of their vehicle late Thursday.

Stewart's criminal history included a guilty plea in 1994 for drug possession. A year earlier, he pleaded guilty to telephone harassment, and in September he spent less than a day in King County Jail for contempt of court.

State records show that Stewart was the sole proprietor of Twelve O Six Records, a since-closed South Seattle business that was licensed in 2002.
